Article Abstract
One of the key challenges in the field of nanoparticle (NP) analysis is in producing reliable and reproducible characterisation data for nanomaterials. This study looks at the reproducibility using a relatively new, but rapidly adopted, technique, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) on a range of particle sizes and materials in several different media. It describes the protocol development and presents both the data and analysis of results obtained from 12 laboratories, mostly based in Europe, who are primarily QualityNano members. QualityNano is an EU FP7 funded Research Infrastructure that integrates 28 European analytical and experimental facilities in nanotechnology, medicine and natural sciences with the goal of developing and implementing best practice and quality in all aspects of nanosafety assessment. This study looks at both the development of the protocol and how this leads to highly reproducible results amongst participants. In this study, the parameter being measured is the modal particle size.

Deoxynivalenol (DON), a pervasive mycotoxin contaminating crops and soil, poses significant threats to ecological security and intestinal homeostasis. While gut microbiota dysbiosis is implicated in DON-induced enterotoxicity, the engineering-driven mechanisms linking gut-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) to environmental-host interactions remain unexplored. Here, we isolated and characterized gut-derived EVs (DON-EVs) from DON-exposed mice, employing ultracentrifugation, transmission electron microscope, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and protein marker validation.

Lymph nodes are highly specialized immune organs that orchestrate the adaptive immune response. In the lymph nodes, naïve B and T lymphocytes encounter cognate antigens, sparking their activation and response to foreign substances. Lymph nodes grow in response to an immune challenge, at least in part to accommodate increased numbers of infiltrating and proliferating B and T lymphocytes.

Background And Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep breathing disorder, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may affect OSAS. This study aimed to explore the influence of exosomes (Exos) derived from liver cells in NAFLD on the progression of OSAS and the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: C57BL/6J mice were exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) to establish an OSAS animal model, and SH-SY5Y cells treated with CIH were used as the in vitro cellular model.

Bridging tumor diagnosis and therapy remains a major challenge, largely due to the clinical separation of imaging and treatment, compounded by the low relaxivity of conventional MRI contrast agents. To address these limitations, we developed a copper-manganese hybrid nanogel (CMNG) the incorporation of Mn ions and CuS nanoparticles within a cross-linked polymeric network. This multifunctional design enables -weighted MRI-guided photothermal-chemodynamic therapy.
